Damn it man! Didn't just collide, it knocked that sucker down, destroyed it. Wonder if any big targets happened to be crossing at the time. Those last trucks off were dang sure lucky.
Clear, and better footage here. Looks like the ship was billowing a lot of smoke before the hit. IMO, steering controls, or power could have been damaged from a fire. Or, considering how much smoke there is, the captain steering the ship could have been blinded by the smoke. Smoke that thick is impossible to see through at night, and lights do nothing- possibly explaining why ship lights turn off/on.
But, the lights turning off/on could also be caused by damaged electric power systems, or maybe even a person trying whatever they could do to try signal a warning to drivers on the bridge.
My hunch at this time is that there was a massive fire on the ship, likely caused from EV batteries, and hot enough to do major internal damage to the ship.
I don't know, it looked like it turned to line up the bridge support. It was turning quite fast then slowed the turn right at the end to ram the bridge.
That's the way it looks to me, but I could be wrong.
Could that smoke be from stoking the engines to build speed?
Could have used the bow thrusters to line it up too. Looks intentional to me. Remember the Evergrand making that cock and balls maneuver before entering the Suez Canal.

Probably a DEI crew in charge.
Prayers for the innocent.

They were clearly on the wrong side of the channel... And that is just to begin with.
They should have picked up a pilot long before entering the harbor approach.
The smoke could have been coming from the stack as they put engines in full reverse.. It takes a carrier like that over a mile to stop.
